My rear mech hanger snapped about 2 weeks ago and i got a replacement but thats snapped too! In the space of having it on the bike for a week with no real aggressive or testing riding!!! Its been a clean snap both times so its bnot been bent first then broke.
Does anyone know why this keeps happening???
Thanks in advance, J

so what is causing itr to snap?
when does it happen? what bike?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Each time it's happend i was landing a small jump. Both times i landed the jump smoothly and neither were from a great height.
It doesn't appear bent, just looks like a clean snap. I'm wondering if its something to do with my drop outs or squewers??!
The frame is a GT Agressor 3.0 (possibly 2002/3) but everything else has been upgraded so its not factory set up but surely a mech hanger shouldn't snap in less than 2 weeks?!!!!I love the sound my tyres make on dusty single track!0
